Beyond Repair - A Lumity Therapist AU

Prologue

>Art is not mine<

Luz POV

❗️❗️ T/W: Strong language ❗️❗️

I don't know how I ended up here. The never ending dark hallway is starting to overwhelm me. I took a glance at my surroundings. The environment of my childhood home seems to be vivid as ever. This house always brings along an unsettling presence with it. It's not the house that brings this specific aura. Instead, it's all because of him. I remember the day that I swore never to set foot here again. So why am I even here in the first place? How did I get here? I felt myself running but I have no idea why. Why was I running? Am I running away from something? It seems the most likely since this is my childhood home we're talking about. The home that I've never felt safe in. I found myself hugging my knees in my old closet whilst I try to pant as silent as I could with only my noisy heartbeat as my company. I felt something cold fall onto my hands as I noticed that I've been unconsciously crying once I placed my shaky hands on my cheeks. I was trying to wreck my brain on what made me hide like this. Then it finally hit me after I heard a very familiar voice. His voice.

"Show yourself you ungrateful brat! I've done nothing but take care of you and this is how you repay me you worthless runt!!"

My breath hitched when I heard his footsteps closing in. His stride was big and slow causing me to whimper due to the intense suspense. I need to escape but I'm trapped with no way out. I was shaking uncontrollably but I couldn't help myself. I whisper my pleadings to God for Him to help me. Suddenly, the closet's doorknob seems to shake a little. I caved myself further into the closet but I was already at its limit and all I could do it curl myself into a tighter ball while praying for all of this to be over. Tears was streaming down my face nonstop. I couldn't take this anymore. I hate these feelings so much. Fear. Anger. Shame. Those are the only thing I could feel at the moment.

The closet door suddenly became ajar. I shut my eyes as tight as I can. I didn't dare to open them. I hear the door creak open and I felt the feeling of fear wash over me.

"There you are you little hog" His deep husky voice echoed throughout the little space of the closet.

I immediately felt like shrinking as I felt his gaze upon me. He roughly grabbed my collar pulling me at eye level with him causing me to let out a choke. I grabbed his fist that was balled at my collar trying to break free from his tight grasp. I kept letting out a whimper due to how rough his grip is as I still kept my eyes close due to the overwhelming fear.

"Open your eyes and fight! Are you really that weak you worthless child!!"

I tried my best to get my eyes to open but I just couldn't bring myself to it. I was too afraid of what he would do to me. Instead, I let out a few muffled sobs. That seems to trigger him more for the next thing I knew, I felt myself being thrown to the other side of the room. The moment I felt the hard impact against the cold floor, everything went dark.

I jolted up awake with an audible gasp. My eyes started to wander around the room as I try to get a grasp of the waking world. I was trembling really hard as I try to calm myself down. I was having a panic attack and I knew it. Once I processed that, I started going through all my senses to calm down. I started listing five things I can see, hear and so on. After a few minutes, I managed to calm down and swallowed the lump in my throat. I let out a shaky sigh as I run my trembling fingers through my sweat damped hair.
